The pot or the knob? The knob should have a set screw, or if not, you'll need to widen the pot with a flathead screwdriver. I'd widen it a tad anyways, to keep it secure.

The knob...it doesn't have a set screw and I'm afraid to widen it with a screwdriver. Anyways I have some pics if it helps, but they're crappy ones. Another problem just occured. If you have a Floyd Rose you can probablly help me. Well its a long story- so on Monday my guitar teacher changed my strings for me for once since its my first time with a Floyd and I odn't know how to change the strings. So he also made a little trick. He locked the tuning pegs/nut with the 3 locking things. Now he made this thing that at the bridge near where you could put the screwdriver in to tighten it- the little round things for each strin- you could turn them left or right. By doing this you can change tunings from E-to Eb- to Drop D. So at first I thought this was a cool trick since I knew that its a pain to unlock the locking machines-tune the Floyd for 1 minutes and switch tunings. But when I cane home-after I played something in the tuning between Drop C and Drop D (srry but I forgot the name of the tuning) And I decided to change to Standard. So I turned the knobs and it would go in so much that its hard to take or turn it back out. I plug in the tuner but I find out that I'm in Eb and that I can't tune back to Standard. No of course since this is happening to me-I don't have the keys yet that unlock the locking machines. So now I can't tune to standard until next monday. What are the name of the keys that unlock the locking pegs/machines and where could I get them?Also my teacher raised my action inorder to improve my tone and at first I liked it but today it started to get annoying. How do I lower my action? Thanks and please answer all the 3 questions if you can.
